Fulfilling Our Mission in a Changing World

Seattle University's Strategic Plan for 2013-2018

In May 2012 the Seattle University Board of Trustees charged the university with developing a strategic plan for Seattle University that builds upon the planning work that has already been undertaken, responds to our changing environment, and helps to fulfill the mission and strategic priorities of the university.    

To fulfill this charge, the President appointed a Strategic Planning Council (SPC) comprised of thirty-two faculty, staff, and students. The SPC worked from September 2012 through February 2013 to develop Fulfilling Our Mission in a Changing World: Seattle University's Strategic Plan for 2013-2018. This plan has now been endorsed by the university's Board of Trustees. 

Please review the links below for the plan itself and for information regarding the SPC's charge, membership, and process. If you have questions relating to strategic planning, we invite you to email us.
